Bash REST API client

This is a bash solution to script REST API calls.

The specialties of this component are

• It was build to simplify http calls and handle http response for scripts
• After making a request the response stays is in memory. There is no output to any file to grep something or to cleanup after usage.
• Its functions feel a bit like class methods, i.e. http.getResponse to get the response body or http.getResponseHeader for the Http response header
• This component wraps curl - ist supports any http method
• works with anonymous requests and Basic Authentication
• The response can be stored ... and reimported later. After import you can use the http.get* functions to fetch results from the former request.
• Caching support for GET requests with a given TTL: if you repeat a request to the same url and ttl was not reached yet then you continue with the cached result
